Seoteh Soldier in Munster” Camp Witnessed
Slaughter of Those Who Resent Officers’ Bru
tality-—Buildings Are Set Afire by Revolters.
LONDON, March 30—Corporal
Harry Douglas, who has just been &is
charged with a few other invalided
prisoners of war, served with hisg fa
mous “Gordonsg” from the time of the
first battle of Ypres until last July,
when he wasg taken prisoner after be
ing wounded by the blowing up of a
mine under a British post in the Ypres
region. He {8 now at Perthshire, Scot
land. . He tells the following story:
“I have always known the German
mctu a bully and suspected him as
& coward, but it was not until
that October night in the Munster
QM? that I had eonvincing proof of
waht 1 suspected. Then I saw thé
Hun éfflcers come to ug with tears in
thelr eyes and fear in their hearts to
beg us to help them to master the
fiame# and save them from the ven
mgof their own men.
“After 1 was captured east of Ypres,
I 'l.l"&rnkon with aomr wounded Ger
man, French and Belglan soldiers, and
wfter rbout four days' traveling by
slow train, we arrived at Munster
‘ m’rhere I spent over four months
un y escape a few months ago.
Punished Prisoners. |
WO was ons officer in particular
m his best to maks our lives
un ble. He was in the habit of
walkifig around to watch the men at
work, and if he was not satisfled with
the way a partieular man was work
ing he had him taken away for pun
fshment. I have seen this gartlcular
ofjcer strike men with the flat of his
sword because they ventured to dis
pute his assertion that they wers not
king. This officer was the direct
q-o of the fire.
t was on the night of October 6
d 7 that the conflagration took
mm Lights had been put out, and
all was quiet. Suddenly we were dis- |
turbed by a rumbling sound as of
distant thunder. Then all was lt”“
for a few seconds. Later came the
sound of hurrying feet outside and
the hammering of fists on the door of
our hut. ] flung the door open, and
g.ro fell In a heap on the floor the
uasfan officer of whom I have
zokon. Behind him came two others.
1 three were white as sheets and
looked terrified. They started to beg
us to help them, and the bully’s ap
peals were the loudest of all.
“He was almost sobbing while he
was begging the brave Highlanders'to
come to the assistance of the German
office 1 told him to pull himself
untgor and tell us what was the
matter before we did anything. He
inted outside, and when we got
gcn we saw a great red glare rising
up to the sky in the direction of the
huts where the French prisoners were
stationed.
“Wa could see that the buildings
were well alight, and that the flames
m traveling quickly upward to
-1 us. In the light of the burning
huts we could see dark fl:uru mov
ing about, and we coul h?r the
sharp rattle of musketry. THen we

asked the German officer what
had happened. He zgfused to tell me,
but repeated his abpeal to us for as
'll&lhm. He offered to find us arms
and lead us over to where the fire was,
I asked him why we needed arms, and
zcn‘ he admitted that the men In
of the camp had mutinied, shot
some of their officers and set part of
the buildings on fire.
Mutineers Shot Down.
“We set to work fighting the flames,
and after about four hours of steady
loh& we checked the fire and enabled
all Qrfisoners to get clear. Tln the

the work of getting our men clear of
the burning bulldings and left the Ger- |
man officers to look after themsalves,
The one they wanted so badly was
shot dead, and his body was fiung
into the flames. The other two were
taken «way under escort to dbe held as
hostages., ‘
“Just then very heavy firing broke
out in the part of the cun!‘where\
we had firat seen the fire, and ghortly |
afterward a number of German 801-
diers came running across the parads
ground, followed by other troops, who
appeared to be well disciplined and
acting under the orders of oflicerl.‘
They wers firing ltol.dfl!, and we
could see some of the fugitives fgll n.t‘
every volley,
“It appeared that ths alarm “had
been given, and that troops were now
marching on the camp from different
\directi 8. No mercy was being shown
to the mutineers. They were being
shot down whenever they appeared
with arms in their hands. The muti
neerd put up a good fls%n, but they
were hopelessly outnumbered. Four
of them sought shelter with us. They
were promptly dragged out and shot
on the parade ground. After that the
mutineers threw down their arms and
fled in different directions. They were
presred hard oy the loyal troops, and
shortly afterward the whole of the
trouble wus over.
Leader Shot at Once. |
“The men taking vart in the mu.
tiny belonged to the One Hundred
and Forty-third Bavarian Infantry.
About 800 altogether took part in the
mutiny, and of these about half were
killed or wounded. The ringleaders
who surrendered were shot &t once,
Br:d the rest of the men were dealt
with by court-martial, A few were
sent to prison and the rest were draft
ed to “storm” battalions on the west
ern iront.
“I discovered afterward that the
affair etarted by a emall party of Ger
man soldies objecting to the way in
which the bullying officer had treated
a comrade, This man had been in the
sick bay for some time, but was or
dered back to duty by the officer. He
Erowsted. and his protest w&u backed
y the camp doctor. It was no use.
He waas obliged to get into his clothes,
and go on duty with flve other men
that night. The other five refused to

company jolaed in the protest.
“They made for the luartm of the
unpopular major, and he fled to an
other part of the camp. They sacked
his quarters, and set them ahlaze.
